So let’s get this straight… you restricted transfers to Firemaw and the only balanced server in EU became a one-sided server in less than a week.

Now you’ve restricted transfer on Grobbulus. Literally the only balanced PvP server left in the world. Are you trying to ruin it? My guild was waiting on 3 people to transfer when their CDs were up to play with us in Wrath, so screw em? This is just mindbogglingly shortsited. Please lift the restriction.

Queue times right now during the second day of prepatch is not a problem that needs to be solved. Activity will die down, but the long term damage to the server and the guilds that were waiting on people to transfer prior to launch will never be fixable unless you lift the restrictions ASAP.

Does this apply to accounts who already have a level 70 on benediction?

Pagle could use some help…

That’s what I would call a good problem.

give us free transfer to dead realms but after this massive hype ends give us free transfer back, no one want to play on dead realms.
we shouldnt pay the price

“We strongly encourage players who wish to use a Free Character Transfer to do so as soon as possible. Free Character Transfers may be closed without warning.”

Gives me “You guys dont have phones?” vibes. Also these server transfer options are trash.

Free transfers is enough for this problem. Restricting people coming in is overkill, and will only serve to hurt guilds and communities that were waiting on friends to join them for launch. I personally was holding 3 spots in my guild for friends that were returning soon, so I guess now they’re forced to start fresh or just not play with their friends? This is not a good solution.

Also, Grobbulus is literally the only balanced PvP server left. Firemaw died within a week of restricting transfers. This restriction needs to be lifted immediately, it will do nothing but hurt Grobbulus.

Blizzard, you can do better. This is an incredibly shortsighted action.

This situation is different, because Grobbulus Alliance has nowhere else to go.

Nope, do better on servers infraestrucure please / queue. We pay a subscripction to be able to play. We paid to transfer to more populated servers cause u didnt take actions on time on servers/factions dying. ÂżWhy would I leave, to pay Blizzard in a few weeks a new server transfer?

I unfortunately had to quit classic a year ago ONLY because my server was dead for alliance and I simply couldn’t play the game. Here I am a year later finally deciding to transfer servers using a WoW token I got on retail so I can play the game – and with new friends I have – on Benediction only to get cucked once again by blizzard. Guess I’m out for another year. Peace. :v:

Way too late. Should have done this over a month ago.

If you don’t place restriction where people can transfer to, more people would use this.

The restrictions kill this deal.

How about free transfers to high servers that aren’t really high or medium servers instead of dead servers. Less money grabs pwease.

Yeah I have a 61 rogue on Sulfarus Alliance side and was waiting for transfers to open to bring her to Grobbulus with the rest of my characters but now cant. Literally 2k items on Alliance Ah and very few people on. Why would anyone want to go back there?

They arent

But they did, until it was too late (aka now).
